Schedule for mission week

March 21–28, 2009

Friday, March 20
5:00–7:30 p.m. If you have time, meet at St. Aidan’s to pack food and program materials. There's a pickup and trailer to load, and they'll be full when we're done.

Saturday, March 21
8:30 a.m. Meet at the church parking lot for exchanging passengers and final loading. The drive takes 8-9 hours. If the weather is good, we’ll rendezvous at the park in Rifle (exit 90). Bring a sack lunch and money for dinner.
If you plan to leave your car at St. Aidan’s while you’re in Utah, please give a description of your car and the license plate number to Amanda Nuku in the church office (303-443-2503) by March 18. Normally we do parking enforcement during the week, and you wouldn't want to get tangled in that.
